We had excellent pulled pork and brisket tonight, along with a great fried pickle appetizer. Sides, especially the slaw, were also very good. Service was friendly and welcoming, portions were large, and prices were extremely reasonable. The dining area is somewhat small, but much of the business seems to be takeout. Bottom line, if you're looking for fancy you're going to be disappointed, but if you're looking for great barbecue, you're going to love Sticks BBQ in Mandeville.

The pork is piled high with coleslaw in between two slices of Texas toast. They are definitely big enough for two meals and I'm a big eater so please take my word for it. I almost forgot to mention the baked beans. I can't forget them. They are more like cowboy style with a mix of beans and ground beef. Good stuff! The service is outstanding. Being handicapped and typically use a wheelchair chair to get around. The last time I ordered our lunch online and when I arrived they happily brought my food to the truck so I didn't have to unload my chair. Great staff and service goes a long way. The setting is pick nick tables outdoors under some beautiful large oak trees that provide plenty of shade.

All of the employees there were so friendly and proud of what they serve. The family style seating was the best part. We sat and talked to multiple people enjoying the weather and food. One customer said "it was his fourth or fifth time coming and the first time he ate." Make sure you go early and go often. The house made sausage was extraordinary. The brisket was super moist and so tender. The pulled pork had the perfect amount of smoke flavor throughout. The baby back ribs have a great texture and come off of the bone easily. The pork belly was nice a squishy like a set of cheeks on a baby. But let me tell you something, you have got to try those Dino ribs. You will only need one! It is enough for 3 people.

The adults were also satisfied but we wish there was a fresh vegetable option. We are traveling and eating crap daily... you know what I mean! The space was clean, it was pretty quiet for a Friday at lunch time. The staff were attentive and friendly. It sort of felt like family!

Sadly, we are forced to write this review after our attempt to resolve this failed. We ultimately…read moresettled on a small refund from Shon to end the dispute, but only because we were ready to put this issue to rest. We do feel that it is our responsibility to write a review about Shon's catering so that others will make decisions that work best for their organizations. Let me first start off by saying that Shon is an amazing person with a huge heart, and is probably an amazing Chef. I say "probably" because I have no first-hand experience with her Chef leadership of cooking other than the event we just had, and it was not a good experience. We sent out an RFP to many caterers for a cancer survivor fundraising event, stating very clearly that our budget was $35/per person all inclusive. We knew that the number was a low number, but as a non-profit, we are not able to spend an exorbitant amount of our budget on catering. We normally procure food donations from local restaurants and then hire a caterer to manage the food service and guest experience. However, with the economy the way it is, we decided to try a new approach this year of having a caterer handle both the food AND the food service. We had several caterers reply to our RFP and ultimately decided to go with Fusion Eatz by Shon. This was because Shon presented herself professionally, enthusiastically and she said the cause was near and dear to her heart. As we discussed variations to the original proposal (such as an enhanced menu for our VIP experience guests) the budget was adjusted to $40/per person. Leading up to the event, Shon was extremely kind and professional and assured us over and over that she was capable of handling an event that had 500 plus guests. What we experienced were the following: 1/2 of the staff promised to us, no supervisors (including Shon - who promised us she would be on the floor making sure the guests were happy). Long lines, cold food, and TONS and TONS of food thrown away. Customers had to wait over an hour through 1 of 4 buffet lines and were offered small portions. This is why we are extremely disappointed that so much food was thrown out. We have had to field dozens of texts, calls and emails from our customers, including our VIP customers, who had a horrible experience. I would go on and on with the minutia of what went wrong, but the bottom line is that Shon revealed to us that the largest group she had ever catered was 250. Our event was just too big for her. After the event, we asked Shon to give herself a grade of A - F. She gave herself an A-minus / B-plus. It was a disappointment for us to try to figure out how she could come to the conclusion, and the only way that she could was that she was in the kitchen the whole time and was not out on the floor putting out the fires she told us she would personally manage. Our annual gala was truly ruined because of this food experience and had Shon agreed to reimburse for all the food thrown out, as well as help us figure out the horrible PR nightmare that we faced, I would not have written this review. There certainly will be excuses on the behalf of Shon as to the many things that went wrong, including trying to put the blame on us, but had she had the right amount of team members, including the three supervisors that were supposed to be there, none of this would have happened to the extent it did. Again, this is not how we like things to turn out, but in many ways I felt that if a large organization were to reach out, it would probably be best that they either avoid the contract, or be sure there are safeguards and penalties put in place for failure to deliver what was agreed upon.

well it's been awhile since I reviewed..looks like last time I was when I first came back to Yelp…read moreabout nine months ago.. I think I'll review again as I've probably had since the last time seven or eight meals here nothing has changed still holding it four stars. one thing though it's very aggravating with only this ta and no others they're not carrying Heinz 57 sauce anymore by choice because the locals just don't get it no one seems to get it..I mean it is Louisiana and do know they like their hot sauce but other T/A Petros in Louisiana have no problem with it.. that we're not going to hold him to it because the food was fantastic I had a double meal here as usual came in had myself the prior night my usual because this is the only place you're going to get it they're wonderfully delicious famous sausage and chicken gumbo WhoDat!! and a nice salad way I like it with the lettuce and the tomato and cucumber what I like about here that use a nice good fresh celery slices cuz why you can taste that bite it is so yummy. however this is one of those ta-petro owned ones that lost their bacon bits and now have the little jar of shakin bits.. but it's okay the salad is nice and fresh usually nine times out 10. for dinner I decide to have chicken fried chicken...huh? you mean chicken fried steak? now LOL I mean chicken fried chicken.. what is chicken fried chicken will think of chicken fried steak is your cubed beef patty flattened out breaded dusted coated and fried; now gang think of a nice grilled chicken breast done the same way after the chicken breast is cooked it's coated a little bit and breaded and stuck in the fryer and oh is it yummy and.."VÌOLA" chicken fried chicken. same way as a chicken fried steak 30 get this mashed taters and you put the old country gravy on both and Grub down.. add to diet Pepsi. so dinner was good.. I was tired brushed my teeth went out to truck I went to sleep. next morning dinner was great decided let's have breakfast again haven't had breakfast at this one in a while so I decided to go on in there and I got myself to French toast and egg combo. lightly dusted with powdered sugar not heavily and the Smuckers sugar-free syrup. and what's become a huge favor for me at TA and petro and many other places the turkey sausage yes it looks just like a pork sausage patty only when you pick it up there's no grease on the plate or underneath but what is not lost is the flavor..many people I noticed once they try it and they're adventurous enough to think "whatever I don't know if I'm going to like this healthy crap, but here we go down the gullet" the response is usually quite pleasant hey the stuff is pretty good and it's healthy.. I always keep it at the house now Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patties for breakfast sometimes in the freezer... so for the most part a good for stars across the board still I'm not dropping it I'm not adding it get back the Heinz 57 please I like it on my hamburger steak and I like it on my grilled chicken the baked potatoes. all in all though this Country Pride is still a good one one of the older 76 Orange Ball truck stops..and I have no problem I'll keep stopping here it's convenient to New Orleans beats all the traffic and good deal.

The restaurant seems to be undergoing a renovation but it was clean. Our food was nothing spectacular. There was nothing wrong, but there was nothing in the experience to make me want to go back. One thing is noteworthy. Their hours of operation are strange - open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day. A ten o'clock start would seem to exclude the truckers in the adjacent truck stop, as well as anyone trying to get breakfast before they hit the road in the morning. Eight o'clock close is earlier than most local restaurants, let alone a truck stop.
